One of the movies we saw was Year of the Dog, starring Molly Shannon from Saturday Night Live before it got totally terrible. It was a really good character-driven comedy, and quite an admirable stretch for her. We also rented the remastered special edition of Meatballs, Bill Murray's first movie and the one that would win him a place in Alison's heart and wallet. It was of course even cornier than we remembered, but also surprisingly funny every time Mr. Murray was on the screen, and even sort of heart-warming. My favourite line was a random bit of encouragement during the hot dog-eating contest scene: "Every day, I am eating more and more hot dogs."
There's been some tennis going on, too. Our friend Jeff is visiting from Toronto for a week, and he came out to play some mixed doubles last night with us and Meg. Good, sweaty times.
Finally, here's an outrageous site that my coworker tipped me off to today. WARNING: Although there's no visually gross or graphic content, this site represents a very sick concept and will make you very very angry. I'm still not sure whether it's a joke. My friend claims not, but check out the testimonials. I can't read them in a non-sarcastic way. In the FAQ section, they claim to be legally protected under religious freedom laws. If this is in any way serious, it's a pretty good argument against those laws.
